that was the purpose of president obama's visit. i think it had an historic impact, and i think generally speaking we are moving in the right direction. on north korea i would not describe our strategy as strategic patience, i call it strategic impatience. the conversations that i had in the region make it clear that we are not going down the same old road. we are not going to reward them and come to the table and get into some food deal without some pretty ironclad concept of how we are going forward on the denuclearization. i'm going to be candid with you. we have responded absolutely, i think, appropriately to the threats by making it clear that since guam was now potentially threatened or hawaii was potentially threatened, or even according to their biggest bragging that the continental united states could be reached, the president took the steps necessary that any president ought to take to make sure that you're not taking anything for granted. so we have made it clear we will defend our allies and our friends and our interests
